PLEASE HELP ASAP! IF YOU GET RIGHT, I WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!!
A boat can travel 15 mph with no current. the boat travels 24 miles upstream against the river current at the same time that it later takes traveling 36 miles downstream with the current. Assuming the river current speed is constant, what is the speed of the river current?
(You will use the fact that is b is the speed of the boat with no current and c is the speed of the current, the speed of the boat going upstream is b-c and the speed of the boat going downstream is b+c.) For full credit, you must define a variable, write an equation, solve the equation and answer the question.
